Domestic House Spiders
Domestic house spiders are also known as funnel weaver spiders, lesser house spiders and drain spiders. They belong to the same class as other house spiders such as the common house spider, aggressive house spider and brown house spider. Domestic house spiders are present throughout the world and thrive within human dwellings.
Similar to other house spiders, domestic house spiders create funnel-shaped dwellings. Spiders reside in the narrower end of these tunnels, emerging when prey is nearby. The web of the domestic house spider also acts as a mating ground. Males and females of this species may remain coupled for weeks and tend to mate repeatedly. Males then die and are often consumed by females.
At ten millimeters in length, females are considerably larger than males. The body of the domestic house spider is comprised of the cephalothorax and the abdomen. Domestic house spiders have four pairs of hairy legs. Their bodies are also hairy and are brown in color, exhibiting darker abdominal markings.
